Vincent Appleby reports from Lough Currane…

5/4/19 The Lough Currane anglers had another quiet and relaxing day on the waters of Currane as a light and variable wind from the East to the SE to the WNW and veered again North this evening, and in the words of one Gillie, No Good!! With bright sunshine all day, what do you expect! Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 1.5 mm. Maximum air temperature 8.7C.

6/4/19 On the political front it’s all Brexit, well I have good News for you because today the Lough Currane News was all talk of Samexit and for good reason, German Angler Mr. Bernard Rall, caught a cracker of a 9 lbs. Salmon on the troll while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com and for the rest of the Currane anglers it was quiet on all fronts. Wind light ENE at times ESE light and sunny. Yesterdays weather amount of rainfall 0.9 mm. Maximum air temperature 10.8C.

7/4/19 All the Lough Currane headlines come from the South side, so we hand over to Currane angler Mr. Gerry O’Sullivan and in his own words, had a good today Vince, while trolling in Copal, I caught a 10 lbs. Salmon and you could say it was a day of treble celebrations because I have two new Grandchildren, 2mts and 10 months born in Bonnie Scotland and I’m sure they will grow up to be two Bonnie Anglers and there is no argument to that, and on behalf of all the Currane Anglers and the good people of Waterville congratulations to you and all your family. Wind light to calm SE with reasonable clod cover. Yesterday’s weather amount of rainfall 3.0 mm. Maximum air temperature 13.9C.

8/4/19 The European Currane anglers were all quiet on all fronts this day and this was confirmed by their Gillie’s mobile phone’s, you could say it was slack in the text and photo department as it was in the Salmon and Sea Trout department. Wind ESE light with reasonable cloud cover and followed by light rain late this afternoon. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 0.7 mm. Maximum air temperature 13.7 C.

9/4/19 Lough Currane was all quiet in literally all departments, wind, fly, troll and last but not least Salmon and one has to feel sorry for the Currane fly Anglers because all they can do is look at their reflections and a drop of fresh water wouldn’t go amiss and I can hear one of Currane anglers saying that’s an understatement. Wind calm to light ENE veered ESE and veered again SW this evening and reasonable cloud cover with light rain this evening! Yesterdays weather, amount of rainfall 0.3 mm Maximum air temperature 13.9C.

10/4/19 Currane Fly Anglers are getting very frustrated with the low water, slack winds, bright skies and very slack light variable winds from the South, not forgetting the Currane Trollers because I can tell you they are just as frustrated as you can imagine. Yesterdays weather, amount of rainfall 1.8 mm Maximum air temperature 14.2C.

That is your ration  from your Gillie and the Waterville Fishery, no spin no fly’s just facts.
